I use Fabriano Artistico Hot Pressed (both Extra white and Natural) for dry medium sketching! Best paper for charcoal and oil pencils in my opinion! I also use the Arches Hote pressed for the same reason, but only when I want a cooler tone paper,. As for Watercolors, I'm kind of new to the medium, so I've started on the papers that I've already have. However, I really need some Clod pressed for Wet on Wet. Hot Pressed doesn't work for that! Thanks for all the tips, you're a beautiful soul man! Keep smiling and keep creating ART!!!
Thank you for your kind comment and for returning for another video :) ! Yes, I like hot press for gouache, never tried with charcoal though, I need to give it a try. I like to use Strathmore drawing paper for that. Cold pressed for watercolour 100% cotton would definitely give you more workability, and not too far from a hot press you feel more comfortable with. I might make a video with the materials and brands I like and use the most. Thanks for your support!
Many good tips on this video, nice and concise, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
